FADS.
(Ohio State Journal.)
We incline to the opinion that three
fourths of the fads introduced into
common school life are useless and
nonsensical. Most of them are in-
troduced to spend money. They are
certainly not educational. There is
nothin" in them to create character
but rather the reverse. Witft a com-
petent teacher the simplest curricu-
lum is the host. It all depends upon
the teacher at last. The most elabor-
ate currielum is a dead weight to a
food teacher. He wants a scheme of
study that fives place to his person-
ality. The fads do not work with a
fir«t class keynote of education. It
is what a real curriculum does for a
boy or r>rl. It is sail to «ee how eas-
ily a school authority will tumble for
a fad. Parents do so. too but that is
because they don’t think how treat
the difference is between real food
and a sujrnr teat.
THE TEXAS RECORD CORN CROP.
(Houston Post.)
: • l ! A*rent Johnston’s report that
th as corn crop is 100 per cent of
y J an<i that the outlook is for
to • «atest crop in the history of the
sii.u- is a most welcome and encourag-
ii uipce if news not only to the far-
t • r but to nil others who are con-
ct i ll' J over the high cost of living.
1 he.supply ami price of corn af-
fect directly the price of food stuffs
notably pork poultry eggs and dairy
products ::nd they affect cotton
prices hy their influence upon the
co t of producing cotton. So the city
l>eople this year are as much interest-
ed in a big production of corn as are
the country people who produce the
crop.
The estimated production of 187-
o 7 b000 bushels will not be ample for
the consumptive requirements in Tex-
as hut it will be a big help in supply-
ing the needs of the state ami in re-
ducing the demands that will be made
upon Kansas and other Middle West-
ern dates during the year.
Texas ought to produce every bush-
el of corn needed in this state and it
cu' ht to have corn to send out but
diversification has not yet proceeded
to that point. The present bumper
crop however will open the eyes of
all to the corn producing possibilities
of Texas.
GETTING OFF WRONG.
(San Antonio Light)
They must have funny labor unions
in Italy.
The report comes that over in Gen-
oa (he Longshoreman's Union struck
for higher wages. They received on
advance putting their wages at $f».f>6
a day. They then stopped working
an i hired men for $2 a day to do the
work for which they were receiving
$6.5(1. Thf-n they loafed around
town spending their $4.50.
Under the American system of do-
ing things every one of these men
who hired a substitute would auto-
matically cease to be a member of a
labor union the instant he hired an-
other man to work for him. He would
be a capitalist an employer being
each could not be a laborer and con-
sequently would lose his eligibility
fur member: hip in a labor union.
It i.aturally follows that if he ceas-
ed to be a member of the Longshore-
man's Union the contract of the bona
fide employer with him executed on
tiu* basis of his standing as a member
of a lab r union would become null
and void lx cause he had left the un-
ion; and Ih n away would fly his lit-
• Gc- profit of $4.50 a day.
However the matter is not of great
consequence even in Italy. A con-
Ga't which i so evidently founded
upon utterly false economic condi-
t.ti is cannot endure for any length of
time. I! can continue only on a sys-
tem of terror and blackmail or both
and these things never last for long.
They are so impregnated with injus-
tice that they cannot endure.
Another reason why this little ex-
cursion into the realm of profiteering
cannot last is the fact that the two
dollar men arc going to strike against
rid.. _ . *
i 1U^ J
thb strikers as soon as they gain a
proper view of the situation. They
are going to have about $4.2r» out of
that $4.50 or know the reason why.
The Italians may need labor mis-
sionaries on how to run a labor un-
ion but they seem to be raising up a
lot of walking delegates who are sat-
urating themseives with the idea that
is generally fathered by those gentle-
! men- -that is that other people should
work for their particular advantage
without regard for the equities in-
volved.
The laborites in Italy are learning
fast but they are learning the wrong
thing.
A SMILE OR TWO
Couldn't FooMThis Kid.
Johnny paid his first visit to a
farm the other day. All his life lie
had lived in the heart of a great city
and when he suddenly came in sight
of a haystack he stopped and gazed
earnestly at what appealed to him as
a new brand of architecture.
“Say Mr. Smith” he remarked to
the farmer pointing to the haystack
“why don’t they have doors and win-
dows in it?”
“Doors and windows?” smiled the
farmer. “That ain't a house John- (
ny; that’s hay.”
“Don’t try to josh me. Mr. Smith!”
was the scornful rejoinder. "Don't
you suppose 1 know that hay don’t |
grow in humps ffke that?"—Minne-

Nineteen-year-old Henry had just
come home from his first year in an
eastern college. His 16-year-yeur old
brother Bill looks on many changes

'being Henry’s bit of mustache. The
other day Henry went into the bath-1
room to trim the edges of that imita-'

DIET FOR BRAIN WORKERS.
It has been one of the pet theories
of popular physiology that fish ami
other substances composed largely of
phosphorous are the most appropriate
diet for brain workers; but it is now
eom eded that the best food for the
brain is that which nourishes tht
whole body with special reference to
the nervous system viz: Fat and lean
meat eggs milk and cereals. Th«
diet of the brain worker should be of
a large variety one authority de-

BONDED WAREHOUSE AT

SAN BENITO Tex. An#. 15.—
Determined ac tivities have bet n start-
ed by the San Benito Ponded Ware-
house which was organized a short
I time ago under the laws of th state.
The organisation has starved handling
corn in the ear and expects to begin
1 shelling operations as soon as the
! corn is dry enough which at present
' is still too green owing to the wet
i weather experienced during recent
weeks it was stated at the office of
the ma’iager.
Cotton is being received now from
members of the organization to be
stored for higher pric es. A receipt is
issued to the farmer for his cotton
on which he can secure a loan of $150
per hale. The cotton is being graded
by County Cotton Classer Cathey
who visits the warehouse each Tues-
day Thursday and Saturday for thi.>
purpose. The grading of cotton in
San Benito is regarded as an advance-
ment over past methods and is expect-
ed to result in the grower receiving
' greater remuneration. A charge of
•’>0 cents a hale is made* for classify-
ing cotton stcued in the warehouse
which at the present is the only place
authorized to issue a receipt for stor-1
| cal cotton in this county.

X. Waddell Fort Worth chief in-1
specter of cattle loans for the war '
finance corporation and former
chairman of (he state livestock sani-
tary commission believes that West
Texas cattle interests are facing the
most prosperous era in history. Dur-
ing the three year drouth cattle in;
West Texas decreased forty per cent
according to Waddell’s estimate and
Texas could at present accommodate
half a million animals although only
150000 to 200.000 could be cared for
north of th'* quarantine line. Be-
cause of the drouth prevailing in the
northwest thousands of cattle are ex-
pected to be shipped in from that lo-
cality.
